Property Description
First offering, welcome to this stunning Usonian-style home designed by architect James De Long. De Long, a Frank Lloyd Wright protege and Taliesin fellow, has created a timeless mid-century architectural retreat. From an early age, James De Long was captivated by architecture, a passion sparked in his teens by the Millard House near his home in Eagle Rock. This iconic structure inspired his dream of training under Frank Lloyd Wright, whose groundbreaking designs and commitment to organic architecture profoundly influenced De Long. In July 1946, De Long's dedication paid off when he was accepted into Wright's Fellowship at Taliesin, where he fully embraced the principles and philosophies that would define his architectural legacy.Lovingly maintained by the same family for over 60 years The Melzer Residence sits in the serene rolling hills above the Redlands Country Club. Sited on nearly 1 acre of gently sloped terrain the home seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape. De Long's architectural expression is infused with Wrightian-inspired Usonian principles throughout. Human scale, proportion, natural light and curated views and vistas all converge to enhance the overall living experience. The property features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering a spacious layout that beautifully harmonizes with its lush natural surroundings. The open floor plan allows for easy flow throughout the main living areas, inviting you to take in the stunning views from every angle. The living room features a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, custom cabinetry, floating shelves and wraparound wood detailing. The formal dining area offers panoramic views through mitered glass windows and the galley-style kitchen boasts a built-in banquette and original cabinetry. The home reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship of James De Long. Thoughtful details are evident throughout, showcasing a harmonious blend of artistry and function. Warm wood tones, custom cabinetry and built-in seating create a seamless integration of utility and design. Each room offers curated vistas of the rolling hills and garden areas, framing nature as an integral part of the living experience. The residence embraces the indoor/outdoor lifestyle with an expansive North-facing deck just off the dining area. Separate outdoor seating areas are thoughtfully arranged throughout the property. An additional deck on the South side of the home provides an inviting gathering space and leads to a generous flat yard perfect for a future pool addition. The Melzer Residence presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of James De Long's architectural legacy.
